Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 ounces crescent dough sheets (1 package)
- 14 ounces mini sausages (1 package)
- 1 large egg (beaten with a splash of water for egg wash)
- 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
Dipping Sauce
- ¼ cup country Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Prepare the dough strips: Unroll the crescent dough into a long rectangle. Cut the dough into thirds lengthwise, then cut each portion into thin strips about ¼-inch thick. Using a pizza cutter is recommended for ease, but a knife works well too.
- Wrap the sausages: Take each mini sausage and wrap one dough strip around it, pinching the seam to secure the dough firmly. Place the wrapped sausages on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat until all sausages are wrapped.
- Apply egg wash and seasoning: Brush each wrapped sausage generously with the beaten egg mixture to ensure a golden crust when baked. Sprinkle a pinch of everything bagel seasoning on top of each one for added flavor and texture.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the pigs in a blanket for 13-15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and the dough is fully cooked through.
- Prepare dipping sauce and serve: While baking, mix the Dijon mustard and honey in a small bowl to create a sweet and tangy honey mustard dip. Serve the warm pigs in a blanket with this dipping sauce, or with ketchup or BBQ sauce if preferred. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, ensure the egg wash covers all exposed dough surfaces.
- Everything bagel seasoning can be store-bought or made at home with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, onion flakes, and salt.
- If crescent dough sheets are not available, puff pastry sheets can be used as a substitute.
- These can be made ahead and reheated in a warm oven before serving.
- Leftover pigs in a blanket store well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
